Critical Commentary, page 8:
"The inscription by the composer which appears at the bottom of the final page of the score is a portion of a verse from the King James Version of the Holy Bible, John, Chapter Three, Verse Eight: “so is every one that is born of the spirit.” The full text of this biblical passage reads: “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”
